Is There Lyme Disease In Australia? |
|
Answer» There is some debate as to the PRESENCE of Lyme disease in Australia. Some workers believe that it is here. However, the most comprehensive tick survey undertaken in Australia to date, found no conclusive evidence for any spirochaete bacteria that may be RESPONSIBLE for the disease (see fact sheet on Lyme Disease for more information). If Lyme Disease is present in Australia, then that it must be very RARE. There is some debate as to the presence of Lyme disease in Australia. Some workers believe that it is here.
